I have no memory for names at all. When my wife was still alive i forgot what her name was and it took me 6 months to sneak into her purse so i could look at her identification to find out what her name was. Of course back then i was in my 20’s and had a much better memory than i do now.
We called that contraption “Monkey Bars.” The legs were always set in pillows of asphalt that stood several inches above the gravel. “Monkey Bars” is probably considered an offensive term these days.
I have problems remembering names. When I was a college student, my sister came to visit me in the dorm. There were several people there that I saw every day, so I felt I should introduce my sister. I was proud of myself that I remembered the names of all the students, then I turned to my sister and drew a total blank on her name.
Is that funny, Alice, how you unexpectedly happens to bump into your good friend on the monkey bars. Howdy there Sophia. How’s the weather up there? Did you came to watch your brother soccer game?

how hard is it to remember your “best friend’s” name after being constantly told what it is?

As a kid I liked my feet well and truly on terra firma, the more firma the less terra.

Somewhere, in a high-end bar, there are lawyers bemoaning the demise of those money generating playground contraptions.
